Description

系統效能控制裝置和方法System performance control device and method

本發明說明書主要係有關於一系統效能控制技術，特別係有關於根據電池之電池容量即時控制系統效能之系統效能控制技術。The description of the present invention mainly relates to a system performance control technology, and particularly relates to a system performance control technology that controls the system performance in real time according to the battery capacity of the battery.

隨著科技之進步，使用者對於以高效能之狀態來進行電子裝置之操作之需求也日益增加。With the advancement of technology, users' demands for the operation of electronic devices with high performance are increasing.

當電子裝置持續操作在高效能之狀態時，電池之電池容量會產生比較大的消耗。因此，傳統上為了保護電池不在過電流(over current)之情況下被使用，會對電池之放電能力有所限制。舉例來說，在設計電池時，會針對電子裝置在不同操作效能之操作下，對電池設定對應之最大放電電流保護。然而，當電子裝置持續操作在高效能之狀態時，電池往往在還沒使用到最低電量時，就因為達到最大放電電流保護而需要關閉(shut down)。因此，電池的續航力將因而受到影響。When the electronic device continues to operate in a high-efficiency state, the battery capacity of the battery will consume a relatively large amount. Therefore, in order to protect the battery from being used under over current conditions, the discharge capacity of the battery is limited. For example, when designing the battery, the corresponding maximum discharge current protection is set for the battery under the operation of the electronic device with different operating performances. However, when the electronic device continues to operate in a high-efficiency state, the battery often needs to be shut down because it reaches the maximum discharge current protection before the minimum power is used. Therefore, the battery life will be affected.

有鑑於上述先前技術之問題，本發明提供了一種系統效能控制技術，特別係有關於根據電池之電池容量即時控制系統效能之系統效能控制裝置和方法。In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a system performance control technology, and particularly relates to a system performance control device and method for real-time control of system performance according to battery capacity of a battery.

第1圖係顯示根據本發明之一實施例所述之系統效能控制裝置100之方塊圖。根據本發明一實施例，指系統效能控制裝置100可係一行動電話、一平板電腦、一桌上型電腦，或一筆記型電腦等電子裝置。如第1圖所示，系統效能控制裝置100可包括一處理器110、一控制器120以及一電池130。需注意地是，在第1圖所示之方塊圖，僅係為了方便說明本發明之實施例，但本發明並不以此為限。系統效能控制裝置100亦可包含其他元件。FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a system performance control device 100 according to an embodiment of the invention. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the system performance control device 100 may be an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, or a notebook computer. As shown in FIG. 1, the system performance control device 100 may include a processor 110, a controller 120 and a battery 130. It should be noted that the block diagram shown in FIG. 1 is only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The system performance control device 100 may also include other components.

根據本發明一實施例，處理器110可係一中央處理器(CPU)。根據本發明一實施例，控制器120可係一內嵌控制器(embedded controller，EC)。控制器120會耦接至處理器110和電池130。此外，控制器120可耦接至系統效能控制裝置100之輸出輸入(I/O)連接埠(圖未顯示)，以及耦接至輸出輸入連接埠連接之裝置，例如：鍵盤、滑鼠、螢幕和風扇等，以對輸出輸入連接埠和輸出輸入連接埠連接之裝置進行控制。According to an embodiment of the invention, the processor 110 may be a central processing unit (CPU). According to an embodiment of the invention, the controller 120 may be an embedded controller (EC). The controller 120 is coupled to the processor 110 and the battery 130. In addition, the controller 120 may be coupled to an output input (I/O) port (not shown) of the system performance control device 100, and a device coupled to the output input port, such as a keyboard, a mouse, and a screen And fan, etc., to control the devices connected to the I/O port and the I/O port.

根據本發明一實施例，控制器120會從電池130取得電池130之電池容量資訊，並根據目前電池130之電池容量資訊來調整系統效能控制裝置100之整體的系統效能。更明確地來說，隨著電池130持續地放電，控制器120會根據當前的電池130之電池容量資訊，階層式地調降系統效能控制裝置100之整體的系統效能。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 120 obtains battery capacity information of the battery 130 from the battery 130, and adjusts the overall system performance of the system performance control device 100 according to the current battery capacity information of the battery 130. More specifically, as the battery 130 continues to discharge, the controller 120 will step down the overall system performance of the system performance control device 100 according to the current battery capacity information of the battery 130.

舉例來說，當控制器120根據電池容量資訊得知電池130之電池容量在一第一位階(例如：100%~50%)時，控制器120會將系統效能控制裝置100之整體系統效能調整至對應第一位階之電池容量之一第一設定值(即可操作在最高的效能)。接著，在電池會持續放電的期間，控制器120會持續取得電池130之電池容量資訊。當控制器120根據電池容量資訊得知電池130之電池容量已下降到一第二位階(例如：50%~40%)時，為了防止電池130會因為系統效能控制裝置100繼續維持在系統效能為第一設定值之情況下進行操作，而造成電池130之保護機制被啟動(即若系統效能控制裝置100之系統效能繼續維持在第一設定值時，電池130會超過其最大放電電流，因而使得電池130會關閉停止供電，以保護電池130)，控制器120會將系統效能控制裝置100之整體系統效能調降至對應第二位階之電池容量之一第二設定值。當控制器120根據電池容量資訊得知電池130之電池容量已下降到一第三位階(例如：40%~30%)時，為了防止電池130會因為系統效能控制裝置100繼續維持在系統效能為第二設定值之情況下進行操作，而造成電池130之保護機制被啟動，控制器120會將系統效能控制裝置100之整體系統效能調降至對應第三位階之電池容量之一第三設定值。當控制器120根據電池容量資訊得知電池130之電池容量已下降到一第四位階(例如：30%~20%)時，為了防止電池130會因為系統效能控制裝置100繼續維持在系統效能為第三設定值之情況下進行操作，而造成電池130之保護機制被啟動，控制器120會將系統效能控制裝置100之整體系統效能調降至對應第四位階之電池容量之一第四設定值。當控制器120根據電池容量資訊得知電池130之電池容量已下降到一第五位階(例如：20%~10%)時，為了防止電池130會因為系統效能控制裝置100繼續維持在系統效能為第四設定值之情況下進行操作，而造成電池130之保護機制被啟動，控制器120會將系統效能控制裝置100之整體系統效能調降至對應第五位階之電池容量之一第五設定值。當控制器120根據電池容量資訊得知電池130之電池容量已下降到一第六位階(例如：10%~0%)時，為了防止電池130會因為系統效能控制裝置100繼續維持在系統效能為第五設定值之情況下進行操作，而造成電池130之保護機制被啟動，控制器120會將系統效能控制裝置100之整體系統效能調降至對應第六位階之電池容量之一第六設定值。因此，根據上述之操作方式，控制器120將可持續根據電池資訊，將系統效能控制裝置100之整體系統效能調整至對應最低位階(例如：10%~0%)之電池容量之一設定值為止。此外，特別說明地是，上述例子僅係為了說明本發明之實施例，但本發明並不以此為限。For example, when the controller 120 learns that the battery capacity of the battery 130 is at the first level (for example, 100% to 50%) according to the battery capacity information, the controller 120 adjusts the overall system performance of the system performance control device 100 To a first set value corresponding to the first-order battery capacity (that is, to operate at the highest performance). Then, while the battery will continue to discharge, the controller 120 will continue to obtain battery capacity information of the battery 130. When the controller 120 knows that the battery capacity of the battery 130 has dropped to a second level (for example: 50%~40%) according to the battery capacity information, in order to prevent the battery 130 from continuing to maintain the system performance as The operation at the first setting value causes the protection mechanism of the battery 130 to be activated (that is, if the system performance of the system performance control device 100 continues to be maintained at the first setting value, the battery 130 will exceed its maximum discharge current, thus making The battery 130 will be turned off to stop power supply to protect the battery 130), and the controller 120 will adjust the overall system performance of the system performance control device 100 to a second set value corresponding to the second-level battery capacity. When the controller 120 knows that the battery capacity of the battery 130 has dropped to a third level (for example: 40%~30%) according to the battery capacity information, in order to prevent the battery 130 from continuing to maintain the system performance because of the system performance control device 100 The operation is performed under the condition of the second setting value, and the protection mechanism of the battery 130 is activated. The controller 120 reduces the overall system performance of the system performance control device 100 to a third setting value corresponding to the battery capacity of the third level . When the controller 120 knows that the battery capacity of the battery 130 has dropped to a fourth level (for example: 30%~20%) according to the battery capacity information, in order to prevent the battery 130 from continuing to maintain the system performance as Operation under the third setting value causes the protection mechanism of the battery 130 to be activated, and the controller 120 reduces the overall system performance of the system performance control device 100 to a fourth setting value corresponding to the battery capacity of the fourth level . When the controller 120 learns from the battery capacity information that the battery capacity of the battery 130 has dropped to a fifth level (for example: 20% to 10%), in order to prevent the battery 130 from continuing to maintain the system performance as the system performance control device 100 The operation is performed in the case of the fourth setting value, which causes the protection mechanism of the battery 130 to be activated, and the controller 120 reduces the overall system performance of the system performance control device 100 to a fifth setting value corresponding to the fifth-level battery capacity. . When the controller 120 knows from the battery capacity information that the battery capacity of the battery 130 has dropped to a sixth level (for example: 10%~0%), in order to prevent the battery 130 from continuing to maintain the system performance as Operation under the fifth setting value causes the protection mechanism of the battery 130 to be activated, and the controller 120 reduces the overall system performance of the system performance control device 100 to a sixth setting value corresponding to the sixth-level battery capacity . Therefore, according to the above operation method, the controller 120 may continue to adjust the overall system performance of the system performance control device 100 to a set value corresponding to the battery capacity of the lowest level (eg, 10%~0%) according to the battery information . In addition, it is specifically stated that the above examples are only for illustrating the embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

根據本發明一實施例，電池130之不同位階之電池容量所對應到之系統效能之設定值之相關設定資訊會預先儲存在一儲存裝置(圖未顯示)中。控制器120會根據所儲存之設定資訊來調整系統效能之設定值。特別說明地是，不同的電池有可能會有不同的規格，因此每一電池所設定之電池容量之位階，以及電池容量之位階對應之設定資訊(例如：系統效能之設定值)，會因為電池所對應之規格之不同而有所不同。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the relevant setting information of the system performance setting value corresponding to the battery capacity at different levels of the battery 130 is pre-stored in a storage device (not shown). The controller 120 adjusts the system performance setting value according to the stored setting information. In particular, different batteries may have different specifications. Therefore, the level of battery capacity set by each battery and the setting information corresponding to the level of battery capacity (for example: the setting value of system performance) will be due to the battery The corresponding specifications are different.

在本發明之實施例中，控制器120會藉由開關系統效能控制裝置100之不同的元件，或是藉由調整系統效能控制裝置100之不同的元件之設定，來調整系統效能控制裝置100之整體的效能。底下不同的實施例將會有詳細之介紹，但本發明並不以底下實施例所介紹之方法為限。In the embodiment of the present invention, the controller 120 adjusts the system performance control device 100 by switching different components of the system performance control device 100 or by adjusting the settings of the different components of the system performance control device 100 Overall effectiveness. The following different embodiments will be described in detail, but the invention is not limited to the method described in the following embodiments.

根據本發明一實施例，控制器120會藉由調整系統效能控制裝置之一處理器110之一功率設定來調整系統效能控制裝置100之整體系統效能。舉例來說，當電池130之電池容量在一第一位階(例如：100%~50%)時，由於此時電池130之電池容量還足夠，因此處理器110可操作在比較高效能(或高功率)之狀態(例如：操作在功率限制4(power level 4，PL4)之狀態)。當電池130之電池容量下降到一第二位階(例如：50%~40%)時，控制器120會通知處理器110，其應該降低操作效能(例如：操作在功率限制3(PL3)之狀態)，以防止電池130之保護機制被啟動。According to an embodiment of the invention, the controller 120 adjusts the overall system performance of the system performance control device 100 by adjusting a power setting of the processor 110 of the system performance control device. For example, when the battery capacity of the battery 130 is in the first order (for example: 100% to 50%), since the battery capacity of the battery 130 is still sufficient at this time, the processor 110 can operate at a relatively high efficiency (or high Power) state (for example: operating in power level 4 (PL4) state). When the battery capacity of the battery 130 drops to a second level (for example: 50%~40%), the controller 120 will notify the processor 110 that it should reduce the operating performance (for example: operating in the power limit 3 (PL3) state ) To prevent the protection mechanism of the battery 130 from being activated.

根據本發明一實施例，控制器120會藉由調整系統效能控制裝置100之一背光模組(圖未顯示)之亮度來調整系統效能控制裝置100之整體系統效能。舉例來說，當電池130之電池容量在一第一位階(例如：100%~50%)時，由於此時電池130之電池容量還足夠，因此系統效能控制裝置100可在最高效能下進行操作。當電池130之電池容量下降到一第二位階(例如：50%~40%)時，控制器120即會調降背光模組之亮度，以將低系統效能控制裝置100之整體電流(即降低系統效能控制裝置100之整體系統效能)，以防止電池130之保護機制被啟動。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 120 adjusts the overall system performance of the system performance control device 100 by adjusting the brightness of a backlight module (not shown) of the system performance control device 100. For example, when the battery capacity of the battery 130 is in the first order (for example: 100% to 50%), since the battery capacity of the battery 130 is still sufficient at this time, the system performance control device 100 can operate at the highest performance . When the battery capacity of the battery 130 drops to a second level (for example: 50% to 40%), the controller 120 will reduce the brightness of the backlight module to reduce the overall current of the low system performance control device 100 (ie, reduce The overall system performance of the system performance control device 100) to prevent the protection mechanism of the battery 130 from being activated.

根據本發明一實施例，控制器120會藉由關閉系統效能控制裝置100之一或複數連接埠(例如：USB連接埠)來調整系統效能控制裝置100之整體系統效能。舉例來說，當電池130之電池容量在一第一位階(例如：100%~50%)時，由於此時電池130之電池容量還足夠，因此系統效能控制裝置100可在最高效能下進行操作。當電池130之電池容量下降到一第二位階(例如：50%~40%)時，控制器120即會關掉系統效能控制裝置100之一USB連接埠，以將低系統效能控制裝置100之整體電流(即降低系統效能控制裝置100之整體系統效能)，以防止電池130之保護機制被啟動。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 120 adjusts the overall system performance of the system performance control device 100 by closing one or more ports (eg, USB ports) of the system performance control device 100. For example, when the battery capacity of the battery 130 is in the first order (for example: 100% to 50%), since the battery capacity of the battery 130 is still sufficient at this time, the system performance control device 100 can operate at the highest performance . When the battery capacity of the battery 130 drops to a second level (for example: 50% to 40%), the controller 120 turns off a USB port of the system performance control device 100 to control the low system performance control device 100. The overall current (that is, the overall system performance of the system performance control device 100 is reduced) to prevent the protection mechanism of the battery 130 from being activated.

根據本發明一實施例，控制器120會藉由調整系統效能控制裝置100之資料存取速度來調整系統效能控制裝置100之整體系統效能。舉例來說，當電池130之電池容量在一第一位階(例如：100%~50%)時，由於此時電池130之電池容量還足夠，因此系統效能控制裝置100可在最高效能下進行操作。當電池130之電池容量下降到一第二位階(例如：50%~40%)時，控制器120會調降系統效能控制裝置100之資料存取速度，以將低系統效能控制裝置100之整體電流(即降低系統效能控制裝置100之整體系統效能)，以防止電池130之保護機制被啟動。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 120 adjusts the overall system performance of the system performance control device 100 by adjusting the data access speed of the system performance control device 100. For example, when the battery capacity of the battery 130 is in the first order (for example: 100% to 50%), since the battery capacity of the battery 130 is still sufficient at this time, the system performance control device 100 can operate at the highest performance . When the battery capacity of the battery 130 drops to a second level (for example: 50% to 40%), the controller 120 reduces the data access speed of the system performance control device 100 to reduce the overall performance of the low system performance control device 100 Current (ie, reducing the overall system performance of the system performance control device 100) to prevent the protection mechanism of the battery 130 from being activated.
